For everyone interested, I went ahead and made a reservation for 2 trailers for our group of 8
CousinLLL Mike and Deb Hewitt
FishHawk Fishman
TweakJR Sparkchaser
Steve Dossett
We chose to go April 25th to May 2nd. Historically we have done better for walleye the last week of April. I reserved calling Aramark at 888-896-3829. I received the same discount we got last year after some work. Total for each trailer came to 1624.42, or in our case 406.11 per person for the week. Not to bad for what we get up there.
Hope to see you there.
Sounds Great!!!

I'm out on the Lake Powell trip this year (I let Timbo and Alan know). Have a couple other trips with the kids planned. Gonna have to make my walleye last :-(
Are there other options than using the cabins? Could I go for a few days instead of the whole week?

There are campsites available to tent or park a trailer. But I'll tell ya you don't want to tent it as being out all day in wind can be rough it's nice to 'take cover' in the evening and sleep in a nice bed. Hauling up camper trailer 8 hour drive also doesn't sound appealing. The cabins are pretty good and priced ok when you put 3 people in them. Regarding half-week, you could see if Alan (not active on the site but I or Tommy can provide contact info) is still interested in making the trip and if so, it would be half week. There very well may be others interested in the trip as it gets closer but now is the time to book trailers to get optimal price. You could reach out to Mark, Marv, or Stevert to see if they are going as well.

Don't forget WallyG also.
Louis, like Matt mentioned - there are two campgrounds at Halls Crossing - one is right next to the family units and has full hookups. You can make online reservations. The other campground is down the road a bit, has no hookups & is first come. https://www.lakepowell.com/rv-camping/halls-crossing-rv-campground/
And again as Matt mentioned, it sure is nice to come back from a full day's fishing to a hot shower & nice bed that the family units provide. Dave's numbers above are divided up for 4 people per trailer. https://www.lakepowell.com/lodging/family-units/
If there are other AZCA members interested in the spring Powell trip - please post here!! That way we can give you direction on how to get an additional trailer(s)
I think I may make going this year a priority......It's on my calendar and I'll make sure that I don't book myself to work. Does anyone have room in their boat for me? I don't really want to drag my boat up there if I don't have to.
I would like to go, but I'm not sure my wife would appreciate me leaving her there with the kids while she's student teaching at that time. And it looks like it might be falling on the same weekend as the Special Olympics again and my wife is an event coordinator for the indoor events. :-\
Man I wanna go on this trip at least once!
Good Morning! I reserved an RV spot for my wife and I for the week---- Count us in! I'll be towing the RV and she'll be towing the boat.
Sweet Scott.....it's an awesome time. Great crew....Debbie is the other "lady" in the group.
Bumping this to the top - Anybody else interested in going? Couple months away guys!!
I have the dates blocked off on my calendar. Want to go this year but if there's no room in the mobiles I'm not interested in tenting it. If I go I'd probably not bring my boat so I'd need to backseat with someone if that's a possibility.
Gonna have to miss it again this year. I need to make a trip back to Florida and the block of time fits plus a few extra days. Guess I'm gonna have to live through the stories one more year!
so... I received a cancelation notice from Lake Powell Resorts. I'm assuming you all did too. Anyway--- with my job I was going to have to cancel anyway. Bummer, was looking forward to it. You all stay safe and healthy!
Dave is holding the reservation for all of us....he's been working on the boat since he got home from work so I assume he's sleeping right now......Dave???? Say it ain't so.
So, I will make the call to Aramark tomorrow to see if in fact our trip is canceled. From what I have gathered through the Lake Powell website, everything is shut down until April 30th.

If the club does any Lake Powell trip early June if things have cleared up perhaps 3-4 day on Glenn Canyon Lake Powell area I may be interested.

Sorry for the bad news, but I think we already knew the answer. Lake Powell trip is officially cancelled this year for spring. No money was exchanged between us, and I received a full refund from Aramark.
Don't know if would help but Open lake Powell petition: https://www.change.org/p/gary-herbert-reopen-lake-powell-and-keep-it-open-glen-canyon-national-recreation-area?recruiter=373164652&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=psf_combo_share_initial&recruited_by_id=22609d20-5187-11e5-8d93-33bc6b10a952&utm_content=fht-21336102-en-us%3Av10
Sorry your trip got messed up, still don't know how the Gov. of Utah can dictate "all" ramps being closed when several are in Az I think he is overstepping his authority :dontknow:
We are back on for Powell. I was able to call and get reservations for the week of May 2nd through the 9th. Same price was offered, which was 1624.42 per trailer per week.
Confirmed going in two trailers:
Trailer 1:
Mike and Deb Hewitt
Fishman
Sparkchaser
Trailer 2:
CousinLLL
IAMMAC
TweakJr
Steve Dosset
So cost per person is 406.11 for the trailers
Can there be a 4th in the second trailer if so Tentatively put me down for it. Also any open back seats? Not sure if my boat will be ready by then.

You Betcha! I'll need a list of tackle to bring since I've never done this before. Maybe make it a sticky at the top of the forum.

Sticky made from an old post. Also started a new thread on this for you......
Hey Guys,
Things are way too crazy still at the hospital for me to commit. This COVID crap is overwhelming us. Will keep you all in mind.
Stay safe,
Scott
Who wants to do a fresh walleye and taters shore lunch one or multiple days? I know it all depends on where we are fishing but I think it might be a cool idea if we meet up for lunch and go over our morning of fishing. Even the group that is making dinner that night could attend depending on what time they go in to prepare for dinner.
Nice idea but not very practical. We could be 40 miles apart. 20 miles up lake and 20 miles down lake. Most of the time we don't even stop to eat at all. Just grab a sandwich while we are fishing. That is the way Team Hewitt rolls and we aren't even the most intense and focused fisherman. These guys are animals. Leave at dawn ( we tend to be on the lake at the crack of noon ) and stay out until dark.
If Mac wants to arrange a shore lunch....I'd be happy to forego my Banana and Protein bar for some fresh food....agree with Mike. Logistics could be an issue....but if you feed them, they will come.
No shore lunch for ANYONE........Damn COVID!
On Tuesday they extended the Powell closure at camping areas to May 14th, and where we stay in the family units to May 22nd. We gave it two tries, but it wasn't meant to be this year
Thanks for trying Dave!
Sorry it fell through Dave. Weird saw a post(s) on Waynes.word that that Walweep launch ramps are open (and they were today) for several hours. If you live within like 20 miles of the lake or have a boat in storage within that distance you can use the ramp :dontknow: Talk about a fire drill.
